The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Yessir
They can't stop me
Even if they stopped me
Hahaha, yeah
I'm on it, ooh, I'm on it
I'm so on it and however you want it
You can get it tonight, ho, and all night, ho
I get the beat from (Maestro)
A fuckin' right ho, I might go
Crazy on these niggas, I don't give a motherfuck
Run up in a nigga house and shoot his grandmother up
What? What? I don't give a motherfuck
Get your baby kidnapped, and your baby mother fucked
It's Tha Carter III, bitch, better put ya supper up
Hollygrove, I throw it up like I'm tryin' to lose my gut
Fuck is up? Beat him up like a million uppercuts
Got a million duffled up for the fuck of it
Shit, get on my level, you can't get on my level
You gon' need a space shuttle or a ladder that's forever
However, I'm better, if not now, than never
Don't you ever fix your lips unless you 'bout to suck my dick
Bitch, swallow my words, taste my thoughts
And if it's too nasty, spit it back at me
Two more inches, I'd have been in that casket
According to the doctor, I could of died in traffic
Bounce right back on them bitches like Magic
Abracadabra, I'm up like Viagra
I just do this shit for my click like Adam Sandler
I control hip hop and I'ma keep it on my channel
Watch me, bitch, watch me
Bitch, watch me
But they cannot see me like Hitler
It's the New Orleans Nightmare
Money so old its growin' white hair
Young Money baby, yeah, we right here
I'ma make sure we ball 'til we fall like tears
And mama don't cry, your son can handle his
I got her out the hood and put her in the hills
Yeah, when I was fourteen I told my mom we would see better days
And sure enough I got Miss Cita in a better place
When I was fourteen I told my mom we would see better days
And sure enough we did exactly what I say
I tell my girl "when you fuck me, better fuck me good
'Cause if another girl could, she gon' fuck me good"
No sittin' at the table if you bringin' nothin' to it
And I get straight to it like its nothing to it
Yeah, I got game like Stuart Scott, fresh out the ESPN shop
And when SportsCenter poppin', everything stoppin'
But you can't fool me, I know what you watchin'
Me, you watch me, you watch me
'Cause I be Weezy, must see TV
C3, nigga, that's me
And I'm me, I'm me times 3
So retreat or suffer defeat
I'm back, 3-peat
C3 (C3, C3, C3)
They can't stop me
Even if they stopped me
Hahaha, yeah
I'm on it, ooh, I'm on it
I'm so on it and however you want it
You can get it tonight, ho, and all night, ho
I get the beat from (Maestro)
A fuckin' right ho, I might go
Crazy on these niggas, I don't give a motherfuck
Run up in a nigga house and shoot his grandmother up
What? What? I don't give a motherfuck

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
All musicians who must sing/rap memorize their songs...typically because they WROTE them and thought them up. Lil Wayne writes, just as everybody else. He is just bad at it. His claim of not writing is to explain why he sounds so unoriginal and boring. A Milli was popular, but that doesn't make it good. Hitler was popular, but not good.
